Test Discussion GU 68: Survival Mode

You said "New and returning Fortress-Appropriate pets" Are there actually new pets or just the same as previous 2 times we have had FoS SM?

When I tried to create and new character and picked start at the beginning, it went to 30 instead like before the fix. I WISH that somebody could playtest this game before putting it up for the customers.....PLEASE!!!

There is no testing for the Pre-30 Content so thats why it is turned off.

Hiho ;D

Smth for the actual feedback thread

CR overview of NPCs:

Round 1 starts with NPCs at cr195. Which is +5 above current player cr on live. Comparison to last year: +2.

According to last years recordings there was no undefined cr jump of NPCs between rounds so at this rate Round 20 NPCs cr will be at 215. Which is +25 above current player cr on live. Comparison to lasts year: +22.



Feedback: Good to see there is finally an adjustment upwards after 2 years of having a way too easy scaled experience (still wonder how those +23 adds would have been in 21 ^^) and making it partly a free loot handout. Still people can get pets as long they bring in a mildly coordinated group into it.

I think they meant that new characters are NOT created at level 30 automatically. I just tried to create one on test and got this after entering a name.
If I select the "Skip to CR 100" option, I get an error that it can't open the market place. So I would have to create a level 25 character and grind to level 30, then use the testing gear in the HQ to advance CR. There was a similar issue the last time we were testing something other than the Stat Revamp, except new characters were auto created at level 10. I hope this doesn't become the norm until Stat Revamp is live, if there is ever anything new that would see us wanting to make new alts quickly above level 30 to test something.

It doesn't matter which button you choose (except for the skip to CR 100 one) they all end up with you in the WT at level 30.

Interesting, it looks like you're right. Why would they add the choice to the test server build, if they all do the same thing? Too bad when we actually had something to test that needed multiple characters above level 30, new characters were being created at level 10 on test...

Sorry for temporarily derailing the thread.

If anyone has a chance can ya please post a pic of the back style from SM. I would do it myself but just dont have the time to go on test right now. Thanks in advance to anyone who posts a pic of it.

The Back Style (not my pic just posting for someone like last time ^^):

odd choice, haven't seen anyone wearing this T3 backpiece. I think sunstone bulwark or medico one would have been better option.

I knew this would happen. The rest is also inspired by the troller gear. Ugly style reward though

And here I was hoping the back style would be a version of the Sunstone Edge back and not this one that combines poorly with every other style in the game.

Ugh. Why change the azarath back for the trigon SM, which is a pretty cool back piece, but then not change this one. Almost everyone i know ingame thinks this is the ugliest back style in the entire game. Really disappointed to see this. Tells me i will run rounds 1 and 2 just to get 1 back just to say i have one because i have platinum chest&legs from this SM. Thanks for the pic elu.

Thanks elu, Guess I won't be running this SM....

Why do toy hate Dcuo players mepps !!!!!!

Was hoping the back style wasn't going to be what it is, is it possible to get the back style changed?

It makes me wonder will they be changing the back reward for HH SM. Because its this little triangle on your back below.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason why this stuff is done. I mean not a single person wears that T3 controller back ingame. Imo the azarathe back piece was the best of out the 4 styles used for SM. And that is the 1 they change I just dont understand.

Plus in the pic elusian posted if u are looking at your character from the front there will be no difference between the iron or the platinum. Because of where they placed the iron, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.

Hopefully they change it to one of the other ones, cause that's just hideous.
